Broken Garage Door Motor Repair Services in Canyon Lake and all of CA

The majority of garage door opener and motor repairs can be corrected by the alignment of a single part, or of a few select parts, like the photoreceptive receivers, or the replacement of small parts like worn out sprockets and fine-toothed gears found within the motor. Different kinds of repairs may include, but are not limited to: replacing any drive chains, switches, fuses, circuit boards, belts, mounts, and many more. In some instances, no replacement parts will be needed, as all the opener requires are some readjustments or realignments.

Garage Door Openers and Motors:The Ultimate Modern Garage Convenience

Among one of the most useful and important conveniences to ever grace the outside of homes, offices, factories, manufacturing plants and mills is the garage door opener and door motor. With this incredibly useful addition, you are able to open and close any garage door within a large distance at will, with the single push of a button. Garage door openers and motors have quickly become the standard throughout the garage door industry, and for good reason. Like any other technology that is being produced, these openers simplify and improve lives with their simple operation, and are continually being improved and refined to the point of requiring both minimal space and power. In today’s modern age, not having a garage door opener can prove to be a serious inconvenience, and even garages equipped with manual crank openers are completely obsolete. Once considered the height of garage door luxury, the way is paved for electric motors and openers to be in every home in the United States, providing an increased standard of living, as well as better security for garages all across the land.

With several hundred different model openers and motors available to any homeowner with a garage, the first step to owning one is: just wanting one. The next step is recognizing the type of garage door that you have, whether it’s an old school carriage house door, or the more modern, segmented section type garage door. Usually, the biggest single piece of systemic machinery in any home happens to be the garage door and all of its add-ons, marking the correct kind of door is singularly important. Almost every single style of garage door has a counterpart opener and motor, so you’re sure to find one that fits both your garage as well as your budget.

The next step in installing a garage door opener is choosing the power rating of the motor in the opener. One of the most installed motors in the garages that make use of an overhanging motor have a power rating of about half a horsepower, or ½ HP. In all honesty, the power rating of the motor is only as important as the amount of torque force the torsion springs develop when pulled on by the motor, which is why a huge amount of power is completely unnecessary. What the motor inside the opener really does is activate the stored energy within the springs. Certain garage doors are incredibly heavy, so they may require a power rating of about ¾ HP, which is more than enough for almost any garage door.

Another important factor in garage door opener installation is the height of the garage door. The accepted maximum standard of height is slightly under 9 feet. Parts and motors for these kinds of doors are obtained easily, but doors with a height clearance of greater than 9 feet may require special parts like extensions and extension springs.

Advanced options and accessories are also available for our clients. While some newer model openers have automatic lighting, long lasting bulbs, high tensile chains and gears, the most important improvement they have are special safety features that prevent sudden disconnection and provide immediate lockup. Certain models even come with inertial dampeners for extra silent operation, and others come with power surge abilities to speed up operation. Whatever model you choose, any number of premium options are available, all at a modest cost. And don’t forget to read the manual, too; it’ll save you a lot of headaches.

There are four different types of motorized openers for garage doors: Chain-Drive Opener, Belt-Drive Opener, Jack Shaft Opener, and Screw Drive Opener, with each having their own benefits and unique design and use. The type you will need is based on the type of garage door you have, the size, the weight of the system, etc. For more information on each type, read on:

Chain-Drive Garage Door Opener: Having been in use for decades, the chain-drive opener has been the industry standard due to its reliable construction, long lasting performance, easy maintenance and energy efficiency.

Belt-Drive Garage Door Opener: Belt-driven garage door openers are very similar to chain-driven garage door openers, but instead of a chain, they have a belt, and this, operate much quieter than the norm. They have all of the benefits of chain types, with the added silent operation.

Screw-Drive: Screw-Drives are best used in garage door systems that are much heavier than normal, exceeding the limits of modest motors. These openers are used when the amount of ceiling space is limited, as they are more compact, and yet at the same time provide even more power than normal openers.

Jack Shaft: These garage door openers are typically mounted on the wall, combining the space saving characteristics of the screw-drive type with the silenced operating of the belt-driven type into one, compact, strong and quiet opener.

Although repairs to a garage door opener can and will be made over its lifetime, the fact of the matter is that repairs can end up costing more trouble than they’re worth, and an installation will be recommended at this point. We carry only the best brands and models, and thanks to our expansive network of suppliers, we can offer these openers at an affordable rate that won’t break the bank.

When a client wants to add a garage door opener to their existing garage system, several considerations need to be taken to find the ideal garage door opener. The drive mechanism, the type of motor, the additional accessories, and the size or power of the motor are all important factors to think about. Residential garage door openers come in power ratings of ¼ HP up to ¾ HP with increments of ¼ HP. Along with all of these considerations, Direct Current, or DC, motors are becoming more and more popular than the traditional AC motors. With enhancements like smoother, quieter operation, battery backup for power shortages and outages, as well as jack shaft designs for easy installations anywhere in the garage, these DC motors are all the rage.

Garage Door Opener Safety Precautions

The most important safety measure anyone can take to ensure the safe operation of their garage door opener is to execute a practice test on the system. Without the safety operation test, you may find that your garage door opener is not operating properly or safely, and this can lead to injury to yourself and others, as well as damage to the system itself. A few safety precautions you can take to help prevent any potential incidents are outlined below:

Photo eyes, located on or near the bottom of each side of the garage door detect any movement within the sensor range, and relay that information to the garage door opener. These photo eyes, which look like black circles, should be placed no higher than half a foot, or 6 inches, above the garage floor. A great way to test the safety of this type of system is to block one of the eyes with your hand, and then press the close button on your garage door opener. If the door closes, then it will need to be repaired or replaced. Otherwise, your system is safe to use. If your garage system doesn’t even have photo eyes, then it is strongly suggested that you get a system that does, as this safety feature can prove invaluable in preventing accidents.

Another effective method to test the relative safety of your garage system is to block the garage door’s path when it closes with a small object that lies about 2 inches above the garage floor. Current models are designed to reverse their movement when their path is physically blocked, preventing any possible crushing. If the garage door does not stop when it is blocked coming down, then it is highly recommended you get a model that does, and this will help reduce any potential damage.

Garage Door Opener Remote Controls

On occasion, garage door opener remotes will have to be replaced or repaired. When the remote or the opener itself is not working properly, it’s not only an irritating experience, it can be a potential hazard. Homeowners sometimes experience this frustration firsthand when their vehicles or stored goods are locked behind a garage door that simply does not open. Business owners, realtors and foreman are also at risk of a malfunctioning garage door opener, and this can be more than an inconvenience, it can mean the difference between loss and gain.

Garage Door Opener Remote Malfunctions

Garage door opener remotes, much like the openers they operate, can stop working correctly or at all for any number of reasons. With all of the intricate parts working together, remotes, loop systems, sensors, buttons and switches can all break down. If your remote has stopped working, then one of multiple reasons can be the cause, but the most common is the lack of charge in the batteries. In this case, the situation can be quickly remedied by replacing the batteries themselves. For problems like faulty wiring or fried circuits, the knowledge of a professional will be needed.
